I have now collected over 300 games worth of video for Game UI Database 2.0! Every single clip has been specially encoded to allow for high speed scrubbing, frame-by-frame. This is great for studying complex transitions and motion gfx, or simply enjoying the UI at your own pace!

The Game UI Database has been laggy as hell for weeks now, but my server overlord @Jay_X_Peet managed to fix it by blocking a single IP address. Guess who the culprit was? 🙄

I feel so sad and powerless. Don’t be fooled by their claims of “support”, this is exactly how it starts. They’re clearly testing the waters with the small stuff before rolling out more aggressive forms of AI. This work could have created a job for a Junior. Fucking disgusting.

Replying to @theRazbuten
The Souls series borrowed ideas from Zelda, BOTW took a lot of inspiration from Souls, Elden Ring was greatly inspired by BOTW, and I can certainly see where TOTK took inspiration from Elden Ring. There’s nothing shady going on here, this is pretty standard in game development!

After 2.5 years of work, I'm proud to finally announce that Game UI Database 2.0 will launch August 5th!! Completely rebuilt from the ground up with an extensive video library, colour analysis tools, brand new filters, font size detection, an image inspector and much, much more.

Game devs aren’t prestigious villains in ivory towers, we’re hard working, underpaid and passionate people who go through hell just to create cool stuff for players to enjoy. This ‘Us vs Them’ mentality is exhausting. We’re all gamers, just some of us happen to make games too.

What’s one thing that most people outside the games industry don’t understand about the games industry?

One of my proudest achievements in the upcoming Game UI Database 2.0: the image inspector! Toggle this sidebar on any image to get a complete readout of its colour palette, harmonies, styles, screen patterns, and HUD elements. You can even hover over words to get font sizes!

Oh look, @Microsoft are back! I wonder why a source from Copilot was logged on my website for 161 consecutive hours 🤔 Gosh it's a mystery! As I have said on here many times, stated in a disclaimer *and* configured in my Robots.txt, I don't consent to this. Please just fuck off.

I actually love seeing UI lectures from people who haven’t the faintest idea about the intricacies of UI design. Adorable. BRB while I reorganise the database by “Good HUD” and “Bad HUD”.

I had a breakdown at uni and failed my degree. I was jobless, on the dole and in therapy with severe anxiety, depression and OCD until I was 28. Now i'm 38 with a lead role in the games industry, an award-winning website, and a book on the way 💪 Still pinching myself everyday.

Flex your lowest academic low score. To remind us that almost everyone fails at some point in life but it isn't the end of the road. Just a memory in the end. Mine was 27/100 in Engineering Math 2, just a year after I'd scored 99 in 12th boards. Much needed kick in my butt.

This is exactly the kind of opportunism I’ve been afraid of. You think the industry was bad before? Now there are 17,000 people out of work in a shrinking job market. The big studios know they’re the ones with the power now, and some of them WILL abuse it. I’m terrified.

For the love of god, can you degenerative AI pricks stop contacting me about the database? No, you can't have access to the data, no I'm not interested in working with you, and no, I'm not the least bit flattered that you're using my platform in your dev process. Just fuck off.
